We introduce in this paper a new concept in subscriber control based on program denial outside the home. The technique is rooted in positive trapped systems, but is believed to offer improvements in both security and in quality of recovered signal. It is optimized for protection of services having relatively low but significant penetration.
Two novel ideas are presented. The technology used for program denial is new, as is the packaging technique. The packaging is not an integral part of the program denial technology, nor is the denial technology integral to the packaging. However, the two together do form a nice package for the intended application.
